Parana River morphodynamics in the context of climate change

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

This paper presents an analysis of the sediment dynamics that takes place at different scales within the Middle and the Lower Parana River in the La Plata Basin. The aim of this study is to provide a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach for the prediction of river future morphology in the con...

description This paper presents an analysis of the sediment dynamics that takes place at different scales within the Middle and the Lower Parana River in the La Plata Basin. The aim of this study is to provide a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach for the prediction of river future morphology in the context of climate change, the intended use of which is the prognosis of river morphodynamics' long-term impact on manmade structures and activities over or near the river. The study is based on three levels of mathematical modelling, with the output of wider-scale models providing the input conditions for more specific ones. Climate models give the input ensemble, i.e. future precipitation and temperature over La Plata Basin. The semi-distributed macroscale variable infiltration capacity hydrological model simulates the flow discharge time series that are applied to an own-developed 1D morphodynamic model.
